			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A client with a creative business called me one day and asked the following question. It&#8217;s a question I get asked frequently, so rather than write an entire article, I decided just to tell you exactly what I told her.</p>
<p>Kirstin,</p>
<p>&#8220;I never know what to say when a potential customer calls and asks &#8216;How much do you charge? What are your fees?&#8217; <br />
I don&#8217;t want to shoot myself in the foot by quoting something too low, but also don&#8217;t want the caller to hear a number that they think is too high and hang up. <br />
What do I say to them so I don&#8217;t put them off, but also don&#8217;t immediately take myself out of the running to get their business?&#8221;</p>
<p>-Ann P., Philadelphia, PA</p>
<p>Ann,</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t feel compelled to blurt out a number or hand over a price sheet. Calmly and confidently tell the prospect, &#8220;It depends.&#8221; Follow up with, &#8220;Let me ask you a few questions&#8230;.&#8221; Then proceed to ask the prospect questions that will help you learn about her needs, uncover her concerns, understand her methods of measuring success, and determine how to show the value of your services.</p>
<p>Without knowing the basic information above, you are not in any position to be quoting prices and fees. Do yourself and your potential client a favor and don&#8217;t rush into discussing pricing until you have all the facts, m&#8217;am.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever had a customer that seemed to reject nearly everything that you were presenting?  We all have.  Research on the customer&#8217;s buying decisions has revealed that a customer&#8217;s resistance may not be caused by what you present.  It could be the sequence of your presentation.</p>
<p>Our research has shown 76% of sales presentations are out of sync with buying decisions.  When making a major purchase decision, your customer goes through a process of five sequential decisions.</p>
<p>1. SALESPERSON.  Customers decide if they like and can trust you.</p>
<p>2. COMPANY.  What is your company&#8217;s reputation?  Is your company a good match for them?</p>
<p>3. PRODUCT.  Is your product the right solution for their needs?</p>
<p>4. PRICE.  Is your solution competitively priced?  Is it a good value?</p>
<p>5. TIME TO BUY.  Is now a good time for them to move forward with the purchase?</p>
<p>Customers will find reasons not to buy when your presentation is out of sync with their buying decisions.  To increase your chances of success, you must sequence your presentation to follow the decisions of the customer.  When you do, you&#8217;ll sell the customer on each buying decision.  This is exactly how professional salespeople orchestrate their sales calls.</p>
<p>In The Field:</p>
<p>Jerry Montgomery, one of the horticultural industry&#8217;s top sales and marketing consultants, recently spoke about how the Action Selling Sales Training Program has impacted sales performance.</p>
<p>&#8220;Today, product and service differentiation is harder to define and communicate.&#8221; noted Montgomery.  &#8220;But the right training can translate into increased sales.  Action Selling is especially effective because it focuses on unique methods for uncovering the customer&#8217;s needs, resulting in a differentiated solution.&#8221;</p>
<p>As the playing field becomes increasingly competitive and the buyer&#8217;s time is at a premium, innovative sales skills are key to success.  &#8220;And yet,&#8221; said Montgomery, &#8220;many companies provide their sales organizations with little or no selling skills training with which to meet these challenges.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;With Action Selling,&#8221; he went on to say, &#8220;Sellers can turn to the work at hand, confident that they are utilizing the most advanced sales techniques available today.  And that&#8217;s beneficial to the seller, the buyer and the bottom line!&#8221;</p>
<div style="float: right; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: white; background-color: white"></div>
<p>Duane Sparks is chairman and founder of The Sales Board, a Minneapolis-based sales training company that has trained and certified more than 200,000 salespeople in the system and skills of Action Selling. He has personally facilitated more than 300 Action Selling training sessions.</p>
<p>In a 30-year career as a salesperson and sales manager, Duane has sold products ranging from office equipment to insurance. He was the top salesperson at every company he ever worked for. He developed Action Selling Sales Training while owner of one of the largest computer marketers in the United States. Even in the roaring computer business of the 1980&#8217;s, his company grew six times faster than the industry norm, differentiating itself not by the products offered but by the way it sold them. Duane founded The Sales Board in 1990 to teach the skills of Action Selling to others.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Imagine planning a visit to a part of the world where diseases are rampant, but a vaccine is available, and you aren&#8217;t going to take it.</p>
<p>This is what it is like to go into telemarketing without a thorough understanding of its challenges and dangers.</p>
<p>I can tell you from vast experience, having built and improved countless units, that it&#8217;s a jungle in there, and to the unwary, you can easily get lost, or worse.</p>
<p>Specifically, here&#8217;s what you need:</p>
<p>(1)	Dedicated Management.</p>
<p>A tele-sales unit won&#8217;t run on its own. You can&#8217;t imagine how callers will get caught up in each other&#8217;s business and distractions without someone there to get them back to work. Management by committee probably won&#8217;t work. You need to appoint a main supervisor or manager.</p>
<p>(2)	Training.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve written at length about how most callers are ignorant of the Three T&#8217;s: Text, Tone &#038; Timing, and how to use them. It&#8217;s not intuitively obvious. They need training to know what to do and not to do.</p>
<p>(3)	Complete Scripted Materials.</p>
<p>A main presentation, answers to objections and common questions, along with &#8220;clutch closes,&#8221; need to be supplied. And it should be really GOOD!</p>
<p>(4)	A Rational &#038; Motivational Compensation Plan</p>
<p>Want the worst people available on the market, today? They&#8217;re easy to find, and they&#8217;re all you&#8217;ll find if you pay the lowest wages. An attractive salary, commission or bonus structure, and typical benefits will get the best people to look you over. Your benchmark isn&#8217;t clerical or customer service work: it&#8217;s field sales compensation.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say your minimum outside seller earns $60,000. Then, a part-time job should pay telemarketers $30,000. That&#8217;s about $28 per hour, factoring in salary, commissions, and minimal benefits. In major urban areas, you&#8217;re looking at the salary portion being at least $14-16 per hour, to get people in the door.</p>
<p>(5)	Expect Turnover</p>
<p>You won&#8217;t develop a nucleus of people until you have moved through several &#8220;people turns.&#8221; You&#8217;ll have to recruit, train, supervise, critique, and terminate several people just to get a few that will stick with you for several months.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve heard the expression that the ABC&#8217;s of selling translates into &#8220;Always be selling.&#8221; To build your tele-sales unit, you always have to be recruiting, training, and turning over, to get what you need, a profitable and semi-stable unit.</p>
<p>These are significant challenges, and they won&#8217;t be solved though cleverness or short cuts.</p>
<p>But once you have a productive unit, it is something of which you can be proud, because it didn&#8217;t just fall into place.</p>
<p>You made it happen!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Crucial points to consider in appointing your &#8220;European Authorized Representative&#8221; :<br />
 Your E.A.R.has the responsibility to observe the manufacturer&#8217;s compliance with the conformity assessment procedure set out in the European Directive which applies to the product .</p>
<p>Your E.A.R is there for vigilance intervention; to handle and file the instance of any and all complaints and claims in regard to the manufactured product.</p>
<p>The &#8220;European Authorized Representative&#8221; (E.A.R.) CANNOT simply be a POST OFFICE BOX but must be a registered     place of business located within a European member states, or the European free trade area.</p>
<p>The manufacturer needs a specialized &#038; professional company as an E.A.R.</p>
<p>Manufacturers are encouraged NOT to use one of their European Distributors as their E.A.R.,<br />
 even if the Distributor offers this service for FREE.</p>
<p>REMEMBER:<br />
 A European Authorized Representative will be responsible to observe the manufacturer&#8217;s compliance with the conformity assessment procedure described in the European Directive for the product. &#8211; Are you comfortable having your distributor measure this compliance.</p>
<p>Your European Authorized Representative must understand all EU regulations from each of the 25 EU member states EFTA.</p>
<p>A European Authorized Representative must keep the product&#8221;Technical File&#8221; available at any time for the EU member states authorities. &#8211; Do you do not want a distributor to have your &#8220;Technical File&#8221;.</p>
<p>As a manufacturer distributing in more then one EU country, your appointed European Authorized Representative would be aware of incidents in areas he is not responsible for. &#8211; Do you want a distributor to be aware of such incidents that will affect the way he/she handles your product?</p>
<p>A European Authorized Representative will handle the manufacturer&#8217;s sensitive product information, trade secrets, European market information,distributor lists etc. &#8211; Do you want a distributor handling your confidential production information while potentially handling competitor products?</p>
<p>Appointing a Distributor may require him to make decisions contrary to his/her own interest and/or to your International sales objectives.</p>
<p>It will be costly for you to change a distributor acting as a european authorized representative products carrying the distributor&#8217;s/european authorized representative&#8217;s name on all labeling, catalogs, instruction sheets, and packaging will be on the EU market long after the distributor has changed.</p>
<p>A European Authorized Representative must remain NEUTRAL in all actions and responsibilities towards all European Competent Authorities</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The catchword today for business is flexibility.</p>
<p>With changes in suppliers, customers, and the processes connecting them altering almost daily (or so it seems) the future clearly belongs to the organisations which can adjust to change quickly and effectively.</p>
<p>The good news for Call Centres is that, unlike more traditional sales organisations, the modern Call Centre has the equipment in place to measure this easily.</p>
<p>Instead of doing a sales training course and then waiting some weeks or months before you can reasonably evaluate the effectiveness of the course, the Call Centre can institute any change regarding CRMs and measure its effect on sales on a frequent, regular basis.</p>
<p>In the traditional face-to-face small-scale operation, the manager can make the change but not be sure of its effectiveness or whether the change is due to the changes instituted as things change anyway.</p>
<p>How do you know the improvement in sales is due to the new processes or due to something else? Or what if it is successful &#8211; how long does it last?</p>
<p>And what does this mean in practice?</p>
<p>At CustomCall (http://www.customcall.com.au) in line with its company Core Value of Continuous Innovation, this issue was dealt with in the following way: 6 CRMs from 4 different teams were brought together for 2 hrs for a workshop to improve their sales.</p>
<p>Then the sales conversion rates were measured over a one month, two month and three month period.</p>
<p>These results were compared with their results for one two and three months preceding the workshop.</p>
<p>This produced an improvement of</p>
<p>one month + 11.43% two months +22.04% three months +22.66%</p>
<p>Looks good but maybe everyone else changed too without any training.</p>
<p>So the same comparison was done with the whole campaign. Comparing Campaign After-workshop-date to Before-workshop-date sales gave the figures:</p>
<p>one month -1.37% two months +05.80% three months +05.71%</p>
<p>Removing the changes which happened anyway for the whole Campaign, the final difference for the effect of the workshop on the training group was:</p>
<p>one month +12.80% two months +16.24% three months +16.95%</p>
<p>Over three months the workshop produced a 16.95% increase in sales conversion rates.</p>
<p>Then the workshop was repeated for another 6 CRMs and after only one month the change (minus Campaign change) was 16.30% improvement in sales conversion rates.</p>
<p>Getting CRMs from different teams means the change is not due to one Team Leader for some reason bringing about a special improvement. Comparing the test group with the whole Campaign means they&#8217;re not undergoing an improvement which is happening anyway, as the full Campaign serves as a control group for the test group.</p>
<p>This makes measurement a no-brainer.</p>
<p>Interestingly when I told one of the CRMs his sales had gone up 45% over the three months he said &#8220;Oh I didn&#8217;t realise&#8221;. So even those who benefit from change are not necessarily the best judge of the value of that change, Luckily with mechanisms in place to keep track we can make an informed objective judgment.</p>
<p>That was just one example but since all modern Call Centres have the equipment in place to do the same, it&#8217;s a waste of resources if they&#8217;re not doing some research like this at this very moment. Maybe giving a group of CRMs an apple a day would result in increased sales. Maybe giving them an extra 10 min break would do that too. Maybe oranges would be better. Who knows?</p>
<p>The key is to try something and then measure it.</p>
